hi everyone,
today i probably did one of the stupidest things in my life by trying to shoplift two things from urban outfitters that didn't have a tag attached (they recorded the total worth as $36 even though one of the items was on sale, and it shouldve really been like $28 or less). well what do you know, when i tried to walk out the sensor went off (never having done anything like this before, i didnt run and let them check my bag, with which they found the merchandise).
i was taken to the back where they took my temporary school address, my school ID number and full name, and cell number. i am 18, this is my first offence in anything. no police were involved. no merchandise was damaged. i asked for a copy of everything they sent out, which was basically a description of the situation and the info i mentioned above, as well as a brief description of what i look like (i am being banned for 3 years).
they let me know that i would be getting a packet in the mail about my charges, and im very scared, embarassed and afraid. is it possible for criminal charges to come up later? how much will i have to pay? i am currently an unemployed college student, i dont want to get my parents involved either, and i really dont know what to do now. of course i really regret it, but i cant turn time back :blush is there any kind of community service, what not, that i can do to work this off?
any help greatly appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
